Support Pillar With Clearance Hold and Thread Maximizes Mold Design Freedom

Hasco introduces the newly designed support pillars Z571/ with clearance hole and thread, giving designers maximum freedom in mold design when high injection molding pressures have to be absorbed. As a result, “mold breathing” is effectively reduced. 

Support pillars serve to support mold plates and intermediate plates in order to bridge large gaps between the mold risers. Depending on the size of the injection molding tool, any deflection when filling the cavities can lead to major problems. Suitable support pillars are able to increase mold rigidity and prevent deflection of the mold parting surface.

With new additional sizes and lengths, Hasco’s support pillars are said to offer a variety of possibilities in the partial support in the mold. The pillars are available direct ex works in steel quality 1.1730" diameters ranging from 25-100 mm and lengths ranging from 36-196 mm.

The thread and clearance hole enable flexible fixing variants in the mold. By shortening the standard lengths, it is also possible to easily and quickly produce customized installation dimensions for special applications. Simple assembly and the reduction in mold deflection guarantee maximum reliability and efficient production during the entire injection molding process.
